"Let us remember that there are multiple theories of Intelligent Design. I and many others around the world are of the strong belief that the universe was created by a Flying Spaghetti Monster. --- Proof of the existence of the FSM, if needed, can be found in the recent uptick of global warming, earthquakes, hurricanes, and other natural disasters. Apparently His Pastaness is to be worshipped in full pirate regalia. The decline in worldwide pirate population over the past 200 years directly corresponds with the increase in global temperature. Here is a graph to illustrate the point."

Until someone brings along some hard evidence, I'll give your unreasoned logic the benefit of the doubt.OMGWTF... They use Pilos helmet which was around way back and bronze muscled cuirasses as well. They grow bears which was an Archaic practice.

Re: Spartan Shoes/Boots?
Indeed, so unreasoned, Spartan shoes are a thing later adapted like the Pilos, and there has been many mentions of Spartan/Lakonian shoes.
What many are doubting from The Spartan Army book is that he claims Spartan shoes were crimson red, the fact that they existed isn't.

Edit: Here is a quote of that book about the shoe:
Even so, we hear of a special type of Lakonian shoe. Literary sources describe it as being single-soled (haplai). Demosthenes (54. 34) referred to 'those who Lakonize with their tribounes and single-soled footwear'. Consenquently, we can identify the open-toed sandal with a tongue at the top, on statues of Greek philosophers, as the Lakonian shoe. Pollux (Onom. 7. 88) informed us the shoe was coloured red (not crimson).

Re: Spartan Shoes/Boots?
Thank you, that is much more suitable than your "Spartanz r conzervatif so dey use old bootz."
Re: Spartan Shoes/Boots?
Seeing that they still use Archaic things thats actually not that weird.

That may be so, but it still isn't conclusive.Seeing that they still use Archaic things thats actually not that weird.
Re: Spartan Shoes/Boots?
Yet it does speak in support of it.
